Codeigniter + remote Debian MySQL database

I think your linux server is blocking external connections.
You have to edit /etc/mysqk/my.cnf, and change 'bind-address = 127.0.0.1' to 'bind-address = 0.0.0.0'
Then access your mysql database and execute this command:
"GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.0.X' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';"
( change user / client ip / password )
